@FedonKadifeli I found out from lscpu, that my CPU supports Virtualization: VT-x — xralf, Oct 25 '20 at 19:56

Make sure you have enabled "multiverse" sources, then run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install virtualbox

This will install virtualbox 5.2.42, which ends with critical error when I want to run Lubuntu 18.04 on it. I probably need newest virtualbox. – xralf Oct 25 '20 at 20:04
@xralf Try a different 'paravirtualization interface' in VBox. Try KVM or Legacy. You need to change it for each VM you create. So, create the VM and then change the settings before starting it. – KGIII Oct 25 '20 at 20:31
Try the virtualbox-guest-additions-iso package instead – Nmath Oct 25 '20 at 20:54
"a critical error" is vague. We cannot help you without useful data. – user535733 Oct 25 '20 at 21:09
On Ubuntu 20.04 the package virtualbox-guest-additions-iso installs VirtualBox version 6.1.10, so you might want to upgrade to 20.04 if 18.04 is still serving an older version – Nmath Oct 25 '20 at 21:18
